Change pdf generation to use 9 point fonts for monospace
sections of the book. Otherwise texy overflows, especially
in Chapter 8, Stripping.
Fix a minor spacing issue in the stripping issue.
MAke a minor grammar fix in creatingfiles.xml.
This is to match the "new" way of device handling with devtmpfs (already
widely used in recent ten years).
In a normal booting process, the kernel mounts devtmpfs at very early
stage. So the static nodes won't be used at all. The only situation
where the kernel can't mount devtmpfs is "/dev is missing", but it means
those two static nodes can't exist anyway, and a normal LFS system
(without initramfs) won't boot in such a bad situation.
Removing static /dev/console and /dev/null may cause trouble for those
people or scripts chroot into LFS tree without mounting devtmpfs. But
entering a chroot with only console and null in /dev is already
problematic. For a reference, If a systemd service is started with
PrivateDevices=true, systemd will create 18 nodes and symlinks to form a
"minimal" /dev.
This is the issue preventing us from cross-compiling libstdc++ in
Chapter 6. By fixing this issue we can remove a seperate pass 2 for
libstdc++ and simplify the instruction.
The upstream fix will be released in 11.3 and 12.0, so we can remove the
first sed upgrading gcc next time.
In the new cross-compilation approach, the $PATH in chroot does not
contain '/tools/bin'. So "+h" is useless in chroot as the newly
installed tools always replace the temporary counterpart at the same
location.
"+h" in chapter4/settingenviron.xml is kept deliberately. Currently
$LFS/tools/bin only contains programs prefixed with
"x86_64-lfs-linux-gnu-", and it's highly unlikely that any distro will
ever ship a program named with such prefix. So it may seems that we can
remove this "+h" as well. However, the situation may change in future
and we can take this oppertunity to teach the advantage and disvantage
of bash hash feature.

Update to tzdata-2021e.
Change /bin to /usr/bin in passwd, and revisedchroot.
Fix systemd for new meson.
Renamed chapter07/stripping.xml to chapter07/cleanup.xml
Removed stripping from the end of Chapter 7. We suggest a
10 GB or larger partition in Section 2.4 - Creating a New Partition
and the space used before cleaning up is only 3 GB. Stripping
would free up about 300 MB more, but these files will soon be
overwritten anyway.
Remove /tools here to save about 1 GB.
General reorginization and rewording.
Chapter 8 stripping still needs to be updated after this change.
In chapter 7 we do not need to unmount file systems to strip binaries.
Move unmounting to the backup/restore sections.
Also make sure the stripping commands are valid.
